What did we learn? From the unconcerned ("You should get out more") to the plain unhelpful ("But you look fine"), advice is hurled at us from friends, family, coworkers, even strangers. While most suggestions are probably well-intentioned, hearing them over and over can make us feel that our condition is minimized and misunderstood.

Some of the most common answers we heard:

You should get out more

Just push through it

You don’t look disabled

Everyone gets tired sometimes

Have you tried vitamins?

You should go back to work

But you look fine

Just move around more

Everyone's situation is different and not all of these apply to each person. Tell us: What advice about multiple sclerosis do YOU wish people would stop telling you?
